Hello Mac, What is your solution to the city/blinker/directionlights (or what are they called?) on your 164? Do you have got better pictures on that? Need to...

I have read on this list that we need 6" diameter lights for the fog light hole. The chrome (or rather aluminum)d oes measure 6" but the light would need to be...
Hi, Sander. Are you the Sander who had (or still has?) a green 164e with x-spoke alloy wheels? Just wondering.... Anyway: the lights on my 164e are from a...
... You have a really nice project there, Sander. Beautiful clean body. Too bad you are so far away, as I would kill to have a set of those widened wheels for...
Yes it is quite a project...this is how I found the car. The Air Dam is a Volvo original (that's a spoiler, not?) See the file I attached. I can get my hands...
Hi, ... Do you mean the main lights or the fog lights on the 164? ... AFAIK, the mainlights depend on the market. Continental European ones were fitted with 8...

Paul, I had a look at Steves. I'm sure it was downdraught as well, and he had the carbs to go with it. Plus, he was asking a lot more than the one on e bay. ...
Hi all, I know this is a 100 series list, but this car might yield some usful spares to some of you. Drives well, fitted with B23 in good condition. I'm open...

I'd put standard injection on it first. The standard injection is pretty good & it's capable of supplying 20% more fuel to feed 20% more horsepower & torque....
Paul, I'm after wank factor really!!! The car is a 1969, and the engine was replaced with a B30 E, and the carbs put back on. I don't really want injection,...
Triple SUs would certainly be the best set-up as they are side-draught carburettors. They have held an enviable position as the easiest to tune and stay in...
Peter, I was advised against 2" SU's as they are harder to tune than the 1 3/4". Plus, triple 2" might be a bit much for a 3 litre engine. Thats 6" of...
Your adviser cannot have any real experience of SU carburettors. I had a single 2 inch on a Mini which still gave me 42 mpg despite the engine being fitted...
